Chronic Illness, Brain Trauma, and the Role of Peptides
A concussion or brain injury that happened years ago may still be driving chronic illness today, and most patients have never been told. In this episode, Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Chad Prusmack to explore how unresolved brain trauma, vestibular dysfunction, and dysautonomia underpin some of the most complex and treatment-resistant cases in chronic illness. Drawing on his experience with NFL athletes, spine surgery patients, and his own journey through tick-borne disease, Dr. Prusmack brings a uniquely cross-disciplinary lens to why some people never fully recover from an i...

Welcome to the Gordon Medical Forum. Unresolved brain trauma may be one of the most overlooked drivers in chronic illness. In today's episode, Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Chad Prusemak to explore how unresolved brain trauma and dysautonomia feel chronic illness, and why peptides may be a powerful tool for recovery. Thank you for joining us, and here's Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Chad Prusemak.
Welcome, everyone. Today, I'm speaking to Dr. Chad Prosmak. Chad is, I said, amazing doctor. Like most of the people that I find amazing, it means that he started off, in his case, as a neurosurgeon and has gone on to think and realize that everything is connected and accumulate. And he's going to tell us about what his particular way into this world
of chronic complex illness, but we're going to talk a lot about head trauma, but it's really a lot about all of us and what happens when there's chronic inflammation going on a little too long. We're going to be also touching about peptides and a bunch of other interesting things.
